A practical starting point for Cambridge
Start with your security responsibilities
For a business in Cambridge, cyber security should follow the information and decisions it needs to protect. A former project collaborator retains access to sensitive research material after an engagement ends. The security conversation should identify which information remains exposed and who controls the relevant workspace. This is an illustrative situation. Ask 39Support which controls, investigation coverage and response responsibilities your chosen plan includes. Set priorities around your own business.
Illustrative business scenario — use it to identify the questions that matter in your own organisation.
Match access to the role
Record why employees, contractors and other users need each system, then give managers a workable approval and review process. Define permissions for employees, visiting collaborators and external partners separately, and identify the business person authorised to approve each group.
Find the information that matters
Identify the records that would most affect the business if lost or disclosed, and check where working copies are actually held. Locate commercially sensitive project knowledge, including working copies stored on laptops or outside the main approved collaboration space.
Review external sharing
Identify who can approve guest access and shared links, then define how permissions are reviewed and removed when work ends. Give each research workspace an owner and a review point tied to the collaboration, covering named guests and shared links.
How we support your business in Cambridge
Our UK helpdesk provides a central route for your team. We agree the covered users, devices, locations and applications, then document onboarding and escalation responsibilities. The service is provided through an ongoing monthly agreement.
39Support’s operational office is in North Weald, Essex. Cambridge is a service area, rather than a branch location. Physical attendance, travel arrangements and any site-specific response requirement are confirmed for your postcodes in the proposal.
Microsoft 365, devices and identity
Where appropriate, we combine Microsoft 365 Business Premium licensing with Intune management and Entra identity controls. Licence subscriptions, management and any Azure resource costs are itemised. Planned onsite cyber security and AI training can support your people as part of the agreed programme.
